Success Stories and Testimonials

“I feel as though Dr. Kozanek eased my mind and cured my pain. He ordered blood tests when my internist would not. Dr. Kozanek has been following me all the way through recovery - I was treated with kindness and respect. I had 2 stress fractures in my foot. I thank him from the bottom of my heart and look forward to seeing him again. Life without that pain has been so much better!”
